Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.

    Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man
    Most like this dreadful night,
    That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars
    As doth the lion in the Capitol—
    A man no mightier than thyself or me
    In personal action, yet prodigious grown
    And fearful, as these strange eruptions are.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    This is a strange little complacent country, in many ways a U.S.A. in miniature but of course nearer the center of disturbance!
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
